Both these songs were used by ABC for the season theme song in the early/mid seventies, and I think its where I first heard both of them. I've loved them both ever since. Don't know if they are "smexy", but they are damn fine songs.

The Rolling Stones in Navy uniforms and taking a bubble bath--how can you get smexier than that?

Wish I could find a better video of the original version, I like Lindsey Buckingham, but this ain't his song with Fleetwood. I have loved this song from the first time I heard it.

Seeing rick's mention of Nina Simone on the "Power Chicks" thread reminded me of this fantastic performance, more appropriately located in this thread. If this isn't "smexy" I don't know what is (actually I'm not entirely sure I do know what "smexy" is).
As a side note, although I love that video, I can never help but wonder... where exactly is the organist?

I don't advocate drugs, but if you're going to do a drug song, at least make it entertaining, quasi-mystical, and irresistible. The Small Faces showed how it's done.
Lead singer/guitarist Steve Marriott later left the band to form Humble Pie. The remaining Faces (sans Small) picked up guitarist Ron Wood and a little known singer named Rod Stewart and enjoyed a successful career through the early '70s. Stewart's solo career and Wood's graduation into the Rolling Stones then derailed their career.
Keyboard player Ian McLagan was later a support musician for the Stones. Drummer Kenney Jones replaced Keith Moon in The Who. Bassist Ronnie Lane formed his own group (Slim Chance) before multiple sclerosis incapacitated him and pneumonia took his life in 1997. Marriott died in a house fire in 1991.
A very talented and underrated group.

I think not. In fact, I'm pretty sure my realization that bald guys could be hot pretty much jibes with the first time that I heard a Cleanhead LP. (Actually, it was a Pablo records duet he sang with the great Sarah Vaughn [who was the session leader], but why get technical?)
